A recent writer, recallinsr famous compliments to famous beauties, in cluded punning tributes to distin guished British belles. It was Sheri dan who, when the charming Miss fayne inquired solicitously concern ing his health, replied with the gal lant couplet: lis true 1 am ill, but cannot com plain. For he never knew pleasure who never knew Payne. The author of the other verse is unknown, but it was addressed to Miss Isabella Poyntz, a lady so beau tiful and popular that tt was a stand ing joke in her family to inauire. when the mail was delivered, "Where is Isabella's proposal?" If Isabella repudiated the receipt of any such interesting missive, her brothers feigned the greatest astonishment; if, as irequently Happened, she main tained a blushing silence, they did not miss the opportunity for teasing. ne nnaiiy married the earl of Exeter. It was a brilliant match for her,' and, in the social sense, a suitable one for him, but since he was the son of the artist-earl who married a village girl, it is probable the suitability lie had in mind was of a better kind. His romantic father, who went awooing incognito, and his lovely mother, Sarah Hoggins whose unpoetic Tennyson was care ful not to mention when he celebrated their courtship in his ballad "The Lord of Burleigh" must surely have transmitted to their heir their own unworldly temperament Miss Poynti, an exquisite blonde, was still young, fair and flower-like when she accepted the earl, but she already rejected so many eligible suitors that some so ciety versifier put a punning compli ment into the mouth of Cupid him self: . "Men arm against my shafts in vain That pierce all armor's joints But Isabel with gay disdain Outdares them, Poynta for points 1" Youth's Companion. 344 fed lamha 164 fed Ismbs 311 fed lambs GRAIN ANHRODUCE Cash Trade in Wheat and Corn is Dull Receipts Very Heavy.

Th clcie was heavy, 14o to IHc net lower, with December at 11.47 and May at 11.734 to 11.74. Other leading stsples, too. sll underwent a decided setback In values corn 24o to 34c. oata, 14c014c to 14c H nnivlNleni 37 U,C lO lOr.. Difficulty in getting to in. eeawara we. Id to account largely for th lack of general European buying . that weakened prices today. Congestion of railway faclll ties between here and the Atlantic was In turn ascribed mors or l.ss to U-boat dangera which had delayed loadings from elevstors to VMsels and had caused a snarp auvancs In marine war risk rates. In this connec tion, much talk or additional railway em bargoes on sas'bound grsln' shipments ac companied ths bearish aentlment that es pecially dominated the market in the last half of the sssslon. Rumors current that Ihe sale of British treasury bills In Ihs United States would be sbsndoned may alao have had a bearish Influence, but as a mat ter of fact the confirmation of rumors did not become tiubllo unUl after the market here had closed. Scantiness of initial deliveries on Decem ber contracts formed the basis of the tem porary atrength which manifeated Itself In wheat prices during th early part of tha day. A proposition to make atorags In Chi cago easier to obtain had been defeated and this fsct did a good deal for a walls to pre vent, aggresslv selling. Such consld.ra- tlons. bowvpr. wore virtually Inst eight of later la vlfw of th rvlilnl pause in the general Kurcip-an nmandt, I'rospfpts of a rapid incm 'of elevator stocks of corn trndpd to wmakn the corn markt Indnprndcnily of depression due to the weakness of wheat. Primary arrivals today were more than double the total, on the correnpofiding day last year. Oats flagged with corn. There was eomri sea board Inquiry for oats, but on account of the railway embargoes no shipping sales were poiaible. Despite higher quotations on hogs, the provision market had no spirit. Helling came chiefly from commission houses and waa due largely from the weakness of grain. Cash prices: Wheat No. 2 red, $1,700 1.74; No. 2 hard, $1.78 1.784 ; No- 2 hard. $1,784.
